What’s not in your drinking water is just as important as what’s in it. Elkay WaterSentry filters are compatible with Halsey Taylor systems to provide great tasting water, while reducing contaminants such as lead, from drinking water.
Since the Romans built the first aqueducts to deliver water to their citizenry, we have seen lead in plumbing systems. With more recent understanding of the harmful effects of lead on human health, our modern plumbing codes have banned the use of lead pipes and pipe solder. Unfortunately lead can often be found in older plumbing systems, including those that feature brass fittings, older fixtures, pipes and the solder. Because lead is a toxic substance, and exposure has been directly linked to a number of serious health concerns, it is especially important to remove it from water being consumed by infants and small children. We encourage you to visit https://www.epa.gov/lead to read more about the impact of lead in water.

Being certified to NSF/ANSI 53 signifies that a filtration system can effectively remove health-related contaminants such as lead from drinking water. Only the highest quality filters are certified for specific reduction claims per NSF/ANSI Standard 53. This certification, which is administered by an ANSI-accredited independent certifying organization like the Water Quality Association (WQA) and NSF International gives you confidence that a filter is capable of delivering the health benefits that you are paying for in a filter.
